Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] Mild personal care compositions with stable emulsions are in demand by consumers.

[0012] It is known that sulfates in personal care compositions may damage cells and strip away natural oils and hair proteins & ethanolamide based surfactants may comprise nitroso compounds which are considered harmful when in contact with skin.

[0013] In view of the same we have developed a personal care composition which is stable and mild. The personal care composition of the present invention is user friendly as it is sulfate free, amide free, ethylene oxide free, silicone free, paraben free and formaldehydefree.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention is the personal care composition comprising polyglycerolester product of 5 parts of lactic acid, 5 parts of lauric acid and 90 parts of polyglycerol; one or more ingredient(s) and water; wherein the polyglycerol is with an average polymeric degree of 2-5.

[0015] Typically, the personal care composition of the present invention will comprise 5 to 50% by weight polyglycerolester product, 5 to 50% by weight of one or more ingredient(s) and 10 to 90% by weight water.

[0016] The polyglycerol ester product used in the personal care composition of the present invention comprises 5 parts by weight of lactic acid, 5 parts by weight of lauric acid and 90 parts by weight of polyglycerol; wherein the polyglycerol is with an average polymericdegree of 2 - 5.

[0017] The polyglycerol used to prepare polyglycerol ester product is a mixture of mainly diglycerol, triglycerol, tetraglycerol and pentaglycerol. Typically, the polyglyerol comprises 20-40% by weight of diglycerol, 30-50% by weight of triglycerol, 5-15% by weight of tetraglycerol and 2-5% by weight pentaglycerol.

[0018] Typically, the average molecular weight of the polyglycerol used to prepare the polyglycerol ester product usedin the personal care composition of the present invention is 180-250 gms.

[0019] It is well known in the art that surfactants with HLB values greater than 10 are hydrophilic and will help in solubilization. The polyglycerol ester product used in the personal care composition of the present invention imparts HLB value of 15-20 rendering it hydrophilic properties useful in solubilizing other ingredients used in the composition.

[0020] The polyglycerol ester product used in the personal care composition of the present invention has hydroxylvalue of 900 to 1200 mg/KOH/gm.

[0021] The personal care composition comprises ingredients typically used in personal care compositions to enhance the properties useful to the end user such as feel, fragrance, appearance, flowability, emulsion stability, ease in handling and the like. The ingredients may be selected from anionic, cationic, zwiterrionic, nonionic, amphoteric surfactants; superfatting agents, stabilizers, biogenic active ingredients, humectants, preservatives, pearlizing agents, dyes and pigments, fragrances, solvents, opacifiers, further thickeners and dispersants, protein derivatives such as gelatin, collagen hydrolysates, polypeptides, fatty alcohols, odor masking agents and enzymes.

[0022] The personal care composition further comprises water as a vehicle.

[0023] The personal care composition of the present invention provide stable emulsions and demonstrate better foaming properties and is mild to human skin and hair as it is sulfate, ethylene oxide, amide, silicone free personal care composition with pH of 3 to 5.

[0024] The personal care composition of the present invention is with pH of 3 to 5 which helps in maintaining stability of the emulsion form of the composition.

[0025] The personal care composition of the present invention is used as shampoo, scalp cleanser, hair cleanser, shower preparations, showergels, foam baths, gels, body wash, facial cleanser, face wash, makeup remover, cleansing wipe, sunscreen, foundation and the like.

[0026] The personal care composition of the present invention is tested for Counter irritancy using Semi-oclusive patch test and found to be satisfactory even in combination with commonly used irritating surfactants like sodium laureth sulfate.

[0027] According to second embodiment of the present invention is the process for the preparation of polyglycerolester product used in the personalcare composition.The process for the preparation of the polyglycerol ester product comprises reacting polyglycerol with lauric acid and lactic acid at temperature ranging from 150 to 250° C. under inert atmosphere. The progress of the reaction is monitored by acid value. The reaction is terminated when the acid value may be between 1 to 2 mg KOH/g. The reaction mixture cooled and worked up.

[0028] The polyglycerol used to prepare polyglycerol ester product is a mixture of mainly diglycerol, triglycerol, tetraglycerol and pentaglycerol. Typically, the polyglyerolcomprises 20-40% by weight of diglycerol, 30-50% by weight of triglycerol, 5-15% by weight of tetraglycerol and 2-5% by weight pentaglycerol.

[0029] Typically, the average molecular weight of the polyglycerol used to prepare the polyglycerolester product used in the personal care composition of the present invention is 180-250 gms.

[0030] The mole ratio of polyglycerol: lauric acid : lactic acid may be between 8: 0.5 : 0.5 to 12 : 2 : 2.

[0031] According to yet another embodiment of the present invention is the process forthe preparation of the personal care composition comprising mixing polyglycerol ester product and ingredient(s) in water as a vehicle. The process may comprise heating the polyglycerol ester product and/or ingredients in waterto enable dissolution followed by cooling.

[0032] The following examples illustrate preferred embodiments in accordance with the present invention without limiting the scope of the invention.

EXAMPLES

Example 1: Preparation of Polyglyerol Ester Product (Polyglyceryl Lauroyl Lactylate)

[0033] Polyglycerol (2070 gm/9.7 mole) is added to a clean round bottom flask fitted with a stirrer, sparger for Nitrogen gas bubbling and temperature probe. The round bottom flask is heated to 75° C. under gentle nitrogen flow to provide inert atmosphere and lauric acid (115 gm/0.58 mole) is added. Once the mass appears homogeneous lactic acid (130 gm/1.28 mole) is added. The temperature of the reaction mixture is raised under stirring to 220° C. The progress of the reaction is monitored by acid value of the reaction and when it reaches .sup.~ 1.5 mg KOH/g, the reaction is terminated by lowering the temp to .sup.~ 100° C., residual water evacuated under vacuum, the reaction mass is filtered and the poyglycerol ester product analysed. Yield 2230 g.
